Well Lee, as I (we?) predicted, there were a couple of angry knee-jerk
reactions to the post in comp.lang.java. The first person seemed to
understand after some back and forth, the 2nd guy was just, well, off the
wall. It's a pretty sad set of posts he made actually. He argued so poorly
that I actually am in the weird position of feeling bad for him.

I am not Lee , but why do you put up with the reactions? I mean,
there is no need to deal with replies. Those who get it will get it,
those who don't wont. Post your FAQ in fire-and-forget mode, and your
blood pressure will thank you.

Oh I know, and thank you----this is very sage advice.

However, the point here is to educate the newbies. And as such, they are
easily mislead by the rantings of the occasional idiot. I want the newbies
to understand how the newsgroups came into being, and where to find out
which ones have been voted into (and out of) sanction.

replied directly to my article.
